Thursday, March 25, 2021
Bridgeport, Nebraska
A beautiful spring day greeted bull buyers for the Schuler Red Angus 39th Annual Bull Sale March 25 at their ranch headquarters near Bridgeport, NE. The sale was preceded by a record winter storm event that brought much needed moisture despite the challenges posed to spring calving herds in the region.
Bidding was active for both the purebred Red Angus bulls that have earned the Schuler program a reputation for a balance of maternal, performance and product traits and the Schuler Red Composite bulls that provide the additional benefits of heterosis, longevity, and yield grade without increasing cow size.
